Win2k Tab Completion?

I remember reading about this in the agn chat room eons ago but now for the life of me I can't find anything on it. Like in irc when you hit tab to finish the word, but in the win2k command prompt area instead.
thanks,
Daniel

This tip may be of lesser importance for Win2K but I'm sure there are those of you out there that still make use of the command prompt. To enable TAB autocompletion run Regedit and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor then alter the CompletionChar REG_DWORD from 0 to 9. Voila, open a command prompt and see just how easy it is to change to "Program Files" now.

You can set up Tab completion with it and a lot of other stuff too.

Thanks guys, funny thing is I actually have tweakui on that box and haven't used it in awhile now that I forgot it was even loaded.
